Fixed a bumpy yard with a RIPPA R18.

First I made it worse—then learned to lower high spots, shift soil to lows, and drag the bucket slowly.

Now it’s flat and ready for plants.

Ever messed up leveling? Comment “yes.”

A ring of large volcanic rocks around a layer of small gray river rocks, with a small fruit tree in the center, in a grassy lawn.

2/4 done.

Set rocks in ring in place, laid down weed barrier, and put down a layer of landscaping river rocks.

Another before and after…I’ve planted 16 trees, somewhere around 105 shrubs, I don’t know how many perennials…

Update on my diy landscape project! Today, I'm removing rocks from my soil. I'm using rainwater, the net that came with my rain barrel and physics.
I didn't want to waste a bunch of water so I'm using caught rainwater only!

The new gate is up and a vast improvement over the chicken wire "fence" that I hastily put up before New Orleans to make our dog sitter's life easier 😂
